DearScotty

Yesterday I decided to bail on the summer camp and opted to stay in bed all day.  Since I was playing hooky that meant I couldn’t answer the phone, so I was in “hiding.”  Around 5 at night I got a call from a number I didn’t recognize so I let it hit voice mail.   15 minutes later my door bell rings, and I’m thinking shit, they’re here to take me to the camp so, I freeze up and hope they don’t see the lights on in the house, then my phone starts ringing!  Shit, it’s right by the front window which means who’s ever outside can hear my phone.  I go jump on my bed to muffle it and wait about five minutes to check the two voicemails.  The first message sounded like a crazed woman “ugh”ing at me.  The second message was the same woman talking in Japanese and all I could make out was “telephone.”   I searched through my numbers on my cell to figure out who it couldn’t have been, and then after seeing a teacher’s name, realized that it was another teacher who came to pick me up for the enkai (drinking party) that I had completely forgotten aobut!  I knew I couldn’t miss this one, so I called back and told her I was in the toilet.  She gave me five minutes to get ready. 

Since I was having a lazy day I was still in my undershirt and boxers and keeping with the theme of being lazy, I hadn’t done any laundry.  So I went out to the enkai dressed as a Mormon with white socks to boot.  I guess it wouldn’t be so bad looking like a Mormon if it weren’t for the fact that there are actually Mormons here!  When we got there everyone was wearing T shirts and shorts and I could only assume they all shared the same horror that I was about to begin the Mormon recruiting process.
